Update: Please note the importance of tweaking the RESOLUTION in some games if using a medium gaming card: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_750_Ti_OC/21.html 30FPS is considered the minimum, so in this example 1600x900 would be best. It's actually not that different from 1920x1080 in...

NWN2: I have an AMD X2-4800+ and an HD3870 512MB. NWN2 is the only game on my system that is limited by the CPU, probably because it has no multithreading coded. If your CPU is equal or less than this then the HD3870 or higher video card will not provide any benefit. So yes, you are...

Yes. Technical reason follows: I have an HD3870. Technical reviews indicate it is nearly identical but should operate at roughly just over 80% of the speed of the HD4770. However, using the Task Manager (CTR-ALT-DEL) during games I see that my CPU (X24800+) for many newer games uses about...

Some points: 1) Wikipedia rocks! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista (links to Readydrive and more) 2) I don't recommend using any current memory cards for boosting speeds. However, memory card speed will overtake hard drive speeds so this function will become more useful in the future...
